David Lynch
Eraserhead
(1977) Surreal, nightmarish
film that started David Lynch's directorial career. David
spent five years in the making of this cult film about a
zombie-like misfit, his girlfriend and their mutant offspring.
Mel Brooks, after screening this film, embraced david as
a genius and hired him for The Elephant Man (see
below).

The
Elephant Man (1980) "I
am not an animal! I am a human being!" David Lynch's
first big budget film with Anthony Hopkins and John Hurt.
Set in Victorian England, the film follows the life of a
grotesquely deformed man and his struggle to be treated
with respect and dignity. John Hurt commented that during
the eight to nine hours in the makeup chair, he started
to believe he was John Merrick, "the elephant man".

 Dune
(1984) An ambitious, epic,
utterly mind-boggling, and, let's admit it, all-out weird,
adaptation of Frank Herbert's classic science fiction novel,
Dune remains one of the most controversial films in the
director's exceedingly provocative career. The story (if
Dune can be said to have just one story) is complex and
convoluted in the epic tradition; it has something to do
with political intrigue and a planet that is home to a precious
spice and gigantic sand worms. Think Shakespeare's Henry
IV with a dash of Tremors, and set in another galaxy. DVD
VHS
 Blue
Velvet (1986) David Lynch
peeks behind the picket fences of small-town America to
reveal a corrupt shadow world of malevolence, sadism, and
madness. From the opening shots Lynch turns the Technicolor
picture postcard images of middle class homes and tree-lined
lanes into a dreamy vision on the edge of nightmare. After
his father collapses in a preternaturally eerie sequence,
college boy Kyle MacLachlan returns home and stumbles across
a severed human ear in a vacant lot. With the help of sweetly
innocent high school girl (Laura Dern), he turns junior
detective and uncovers a frightening yet darkly compelling
world of voyeurism and sex. Drawn deeper into the brutal
world of drug dealer and blackmailer Frank, played with
raving mania by an obscenity-shouting Dennis Hopper in a
career-reviving performance, he loses his innocence and
his moral bearings when confronted with pure, unexplainable
evil. Isabella Rossellini is terrifyingly desperate as Hopper's
sexual slave who becomes MacLachlan's illicit lover, and
Dean Stockwell purrs through his role as Hopper's oh-so-suave
buddy. DVD
VHS
 Wild
at Heart (1990) Wild at Heart
is an utterly random and ugly experience with pockets of
startling imagery and inspired set pieces. Based on a Barry
Gifford novel, the film stars Nicolas Cage and Laura Dern
as lovers on the lam whose relationship is tested and who
meet some truly dangerous wackos (including an almost-simian
Willem Dafoe). Lynch's thoughts seem to be everywhere, and
he expects the audience to keep up with a story that seems
more a collection of avant-garde whims than a coherent vision
with the intuitive brilliance of his Blue Velvet. Cage gives
one of his more chaotic performances, but then he was just
reading Lynch's signposts. --Tom Keogh

 Room to Dream -ARRAY(0x33b6830) - NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • An unprecedented look into the personal and creative life of the visionary auteur David Lynch, through his own words and those of his closest colleagues, friends, and family
“Insightful . . . an impressively industrious and comprehensive account of Lynch’s career.”—The New York Times Book Review

Praise for Room to Dream
“A memorable portrait of one of cinema’s great auteurs . . . provides a remarkable insight into [David] Lynch’s intense commitment to the ‘art life.’ ”—The Guardian
“This is the best book by and about a movie director since Elia Kazan’s A Life (1988) and Michael Powell’s A Life in Movies (1986). But Room to Dream is more enchanting or appealing than those classics. . . . What makes this book endearing is its chatty, calm account of how genius in America can be a matter-of-fact defiance of reality that won’t alarm your dog or save mankind. It’s the only way to dream in so disturbed a country.”—San Francisco ChronicleList Price:$32.00

 David Lynch, Nudes -David Lynch - A cinematic collection of feminine nudes from iconic film director David Lynch “I like to photograph naked women. The infinite variety of the human body is fascinating: it is amazing and magic to see how different women are.”― David Lynch Ten years after the exhibition The Air Is on Fire, which unveiled David Lynch’s photographic and painting work, comes the new photographic volume, David Lynch, Nudes, published by the Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain in Paris. Featuring more than one hundred black-and-white and color images, many of them published for the first time, of feminine nudes captured by the iconic artist, these erotically charged photographs are close to abstraction, offering kaleidoscopic visions of the woman and attesting to David Lynch’s fascination with the infinite variety of the human body while also reminiscent of his cinematographic work. 125 photographs in black-and-white and colorList Price:$65.00

 Lynch on Lynch -David Lynch - - Faber Faber Now fully updated, Lynch on Lynch describes the career of a cinematic genius who has continued to astonish filmgoers with the lovely and life-affirming The Straight Story and the luxurious dread of the Academy Award-nominated Mulholland Drive.
David Lynch erupted onto the cinema landscape with Eraserhead, establishing himself as one of the most original, imaginative, and truly personal directors at work in contemporary film. He is a surrealist, in the tradition of the great Spanish director Luis Bunuel. Over the course of a career that includes such films as The Elephant Man, Blue Velvet, Wild at Heart, Lost Highway, and the seminal TV series Twin Peaks, Lynch has remained true to an artistic vision of innocence lost or adrift in the direst states of darkness and confusion. Nobody else sees the world quite as David Lynch does. Once seen, his films are never forgotten, nor does the world about us seem quite as it did before.
In this definitive career-length interview book, Lynch speaks openly about the full breadth of his creative work, which encompasses not only movies but also a lifelong commitment to painting, a continuing exploration of photography, extensive work in television, and musical collaborations with composer Angelo Badalamenti and singer Julee Cruise.List Price:$18.00

 David Lynch: The Unified Field -Robert Cozzolino - - University of California Press David Lynch is internationally renowned as a filmmaker, but it is less known that he began his creative life as a visual artist and has maintained a devoted studio practice, developing an extensive body of painting, prints, photography, and drawing. Featuring work from all periods of Lynch’s career, this book documents Lynch’s first major museum exhibition in the United States, bringing together works held in American and European collections and from the artist’s studio. Much like his movies, many of Lynch’s artworks revolve around suggestions of violence, dark humor, and mystery, conveying an air of the uncanny. This is often conveyed through the addition of text, wildly distorted forms, and disturbances in the paint fields that surround or envelop his figures. While a few relate to his film projects, most are independent works of art that reveal a parallel trajectory. Organized in close collaboration with the artist, David Lynch: The Unified Field brings together ninety-five paintings, drawings, and prints from 1965 to the present, often unified by the recurring motif of the home as a site of violence, memories, and passion. Other works explore the odd, tender, and mincing aspects of relationships. Highlighting many works that have rarely been seen in public, including early work from his critical years in Philadelphia (1965–70), this catalog offers a substantial response to dealer Leo Castelli's comment when he enthusiastically viewed Lynch’s work in 1987, “I would like to know how he got to this point; he cannot be born out of the head of Zeus.”

 David Lynch Swerves: Uncertainty from Lost Highway to Inland Empire -Martha P. Nochimson - Beginning with Lost Highway, director David Lynch “swerved” in a new direction, one in which very disorienting images of the physical world take center stage in his films. Seeking to understand this unusual emphasis in his work, noted Lynch scholar Martha Nochimson engaged Lynch in a long conversation of unprecedented openness, during which he shared his vision of the physical world as an uncertain place that masks important universal realities. He described how he derives this vision from the Holy Vedas of the Hindu religion, as well as from his layman’s fascination with modern physics. With this deep insight, Nochimson forges a startlingly original template for analyzing Lynch’s later films—the seemingly unlikely combination of the spiritual landscape envisioned in the Holy Vedas and the material landscape evoked by quantum mechanics and relativity. In David Lynch Swerves, Nochimson navigates the complexities of Lost Highway, The Straight Story, Mulholland Drive, and Inland Empire with uncanny skill, shedding light on the beauty of their organic compositions; their thematic critiques of the immense dangers of modern materialism; and their hopeful conceptions of human potential. She concludes with excerpts from the wide-ranging interview in which Lynch discussed his vision with her, as well as an interview with Columbia University physicist David Albert, who was one of Nochimson’s principal tutors in the discipline of quantum physics.

 The Women of David Lynch: A Collection of Essays -ARRAY(0x303c438) - David Lynch has been accused for decades of sexism and even misogyny in his work, due largely to frequent depictions of violence against women. Yet others see in Lynch’s work the deification of the female, and actresses like Laura Dern and Naomi Watts jump at every opportunity to work with him. “He is the master of the juxtaposition of the creepy and the sweet, the sexual and the chaste,” wrote W’s Lynn Hirschberg. “And at the heart of this tense, intriguing friction, you will always find Lynch’s women.” The Women of Lynch is a deep, provocative dive into this paradox, featuring ten essays, thought pieces and impressionistic interpretations of Lynch’s depiction of women on screen, by an eclectic array of accomplished female critics, scholars, performers, and writers, each tackling this vexing conundrum in her own unique way. The book also contains an interview with actress Mädchen Amick (Shelly Johnson in Twin Peaks) where she gives first hand knowledge on what it is like to be a woman of Lynch. Lisa Hession interviews the original woman of Lynch, Charlotte Stewart (Eraserhead, Twin Peaks) about being the actress with longest active span of working with David Lynch. This is the first essay book about the work of David Lynch by all female writers. Readers will enjoy The Women of Lynch: A Collection of Essays. This book contains essays by: x.

 The Architecture of David Lynch -Richard Martin - - Bloomsbury Academic From the Red Room in Twin Peaks to Club Silencio in Mulholland Drive, the work of David Lynch contains some of the most remarkable spaces in contemporary culture. Richard Martin's compelling study is the first sustained critical assessment of the role architecture and design play in Lynch's films. Martin combines original research at Lynchian locations in Los Angeles, London and Lódz with insights from architects including Adolf Loos, Le Corbusier and Jean Nouvel and urban theorists such as Jane Jacobs and Edward Soja. In analyzing the towns, cities, homes, roads and stages found in Lynch's work, Martin not only reveals their central importance for understanding this controversial and distinctive film-maker,
but also suggests how Lynch's films can provide a deeper understanding of the places and spaces in which we live. List Price:$39.95

 The Passion of David Lynch: Wild at Heart in Hollywood -Martha P. Nochimson - Filmmaker David Lynch asserts that when he is directing, ninety percent of the time he doesn't know what he is doing. To understand Lynch's films, Martha Nochimson believes, requires a similar method of being open to the subconscious, of resisting the logical reductiveness of language. In this innovative book, she draws on these strategies to offer close readings of Lynch's films, informed by unprecedented, in-depth interviews with Lynch himself. Nochimson begins with a look at Lynch's visual influences—Jackson Pollock, Francis Bacon, and Edward Hopper—and his links to Alfred Hitchcock and Orson Welles, then moves into the heart of her study, in-depth analyses of Lynch's films and television productions. These include Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me, Wild at Heart, Twin Peaks, Blue Velvet, Dune, The Elephant Man, Eraserhead, The Grandmother, The Alphabet, and Lynch's most recent, Lost Highway. Nochimson's interpretations explode previous misconceptions of Lynch as a deviant filmmaker and misogynist. Instead, she shows how he subverts traditional Hollywood gender roles to offer an optimistic view that love and human connection are really possible. List Price:$28.95
